The purpose of the study was to prepare and statistically
evaluate a series of 11 history of science case studies designed to
teach the following abilities involved in scientific thinking:
1. Recognizing problems, hypotheses, experimental conditions,
and conclusions.
2. Understanding the relationship of evidence to hypotheses.
3. Understanding experimental conditions...
Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally
schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of
branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems.
The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The problem studied was whether there exist significant differences
between the perceived knowledge obtained by former secondary
cooperative work experience students as compared to the instructional
goals and objectives of these programs as identified by the Oregon
State Department of Education.

The Dungeness crab fishery is the largest and oldest known
shellfish fishery of the North Pacific coast of North America. The
stability and development of this fishery is seriously hampered by
increasing meat extraction costs and labor shortages.
Alternative solutions to offset the increasing costs and labor
shortages include: 1)...
High protein wheat seeds frequently perform better than low
protein seeds of the same variety. Protein content of seeds can be
increased by management practices, the most important of which is
rate and timing of N applications. The purpose of this study was to
determine the chemical, biochemical and physiological...
